Is there any evidence that shows this star is a UGWZ? There was a major outburst to 12.1 and observed by Pojmanski in 2002 and nothing since.

Hi Stephen,

2QZ J015940.6-281040 had another outburst in dec 2014. Look at the AAVSO data.

Don't know if this one is an UGWZ. Looked like a rather short fainter outburst.

Regards,

Eddy

Thanks, Eddy. I never picked that up as I was only looking at visual data. Good to know.
I missed the outburst by 10 days, but I'll keep watching it.
